(Zoltán Kottász/The European Conservative) — Europe’s elites are visibly shaken by the fact that yet another democratically elected right-wing government will upset the balance of power and challenge liberal leaders on their failed policies.
“Barbarians at Europe’s gate”; a “pro-Russian axis”; and “demolishing democracy”—comments from Western European liberal politicians and their affiliated media paint the imminent rise to power of the Austrian right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ) as the emergence of tyrannical rule, with Europe at risk of descending into the Middle Ages.
FPÖ’s leader Herbert Kickl was tasked with forming a government on Monday, January 6th. It is expected that his party will enter into a coalition with the centre-right People’s Party (ÖVP). Austrians clearly want a change—that is why more than half of them voted for a two-party conservative government that would be tough on immigration, crack down on crime, repair the economy, and get rid of the ridiculous climate policies imposed by the EU.
